This is a short blog entry. It includes a post I wrote in reply to some questions. It is about my time as an atheist.

Yes, I rejected Christianity and that implies rejecting the theology surrounding Jesus Christ. I still thought well of Jesus for all sorts of reasons. I ceased to think he was God.
Yes, I stopped believing the message I had previously accepted.
I had no belief in higher powers that were supernatural. "No God, know life. Know God, no life" was a motto I used on occasion.
Slippage is the best word to describe the process. Questions about specifics of theology led to doubts and disbelief and that led to more questions, doubts, and disbelief. It didn't take more than a couple of years to transition from faith to unbelief.
Was there some sort of personal tragedy in your life that took you from loving/believing Him, to hating Him, to not believing in Him at all ..
No, there was no personal tragedy. Of course there were good and bad things happening over the years that led to rejection of christianity. There are good and bad things happening now. There was no special bad thing that led to unbelief.
It is personal, but not so personal that I'll refuse an answer. If I think some question is too personal I'll ignore it.
